Sinopsis

Writing history is an art and a craft, which can sometimes make it feel intimidating. Becoming a Historian debunks the myths and demystifies the world of research for both research students and independent scholars. It outlines techniques to help design large-scale research projects, demonstrates the difference between quantitative and qualitative research methodologies and provides advice on bringing projects to a positive conclusion, as well as showing how to participate in the scholarly community.
